"I feel lucky to be a part of 'Bharat'. I think it's a blessing of God, and the love and support of my family and followers that I am getting to do some good and interesting work. Eventually, everything depends on your hard work. So, if you work hard, then everything will be fine in your life," Disha said on the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial.
